From Vienna's old town to the outer districts, from the city's charming,
eclectic neighborhoods to Danube Island, National Geographic Traveler:
Vienna guides you to the better- and lesser-known sights of one of
Europe's most popular cities. In between, you'll discover the cultural
and natural treasures Vienna has to offer--including its palaces and
architectural gems, local markets and events, and the beautiful parks
and gardens throughout the city.
Among the special features of National Geographic Traveler: Vienna are
sidebars detailing experiences throughout the city, to make sure that
you get to know the culture, and the people, inside and out. You can
learn to make traditional Viennese fare (think schnitzel and apple
strudel), for example, sip wine across the Danube in Stammersdorf, and
celebrate the holidays with a trip to Vienna's world-famous Christmas
markets. Insider tips, in addition, provided by an array of National
Geographic experts--photographers, writers, and grantees who have spent
significant time in Vienna--direct you to favorite restaurants,
festivals, and other information that only locals know.
Guided walks and drives are always a popular feature in our guides, and
in National Geographic Traveler: Vienna, these include hiking the
Kahlenberg for an unforgettable view of the city, strolling along
Vienna's back streets, and walking through the forests and meadows of
the Prater.
To top it off, an extensive Travelwise section at the back of the guide
provides hand-picked hotels and restaurants, tour recommendations, and a
glossary that covers must-know words.
